About

Welcome to the Dreamy Realist blog! Here you will find plus size fashion trends, accessories, dressing for success tips, and building confidence…even on a budget! So where in the heck did I get the name of Dreamy Realist? Well, I have always been a dreamer but making dreams a reality is what it is all about. I believe that this all starts when you open your closet. It’s not about the label…it’s about feeling fabulous!

A little about me you ask? Well, maybe you didn’t ask, but I guess I will tell you anyway! I am originally from Indiana, but right outside of Chicago for those that want to get real specific. I have moved around to a couple places before finding my home of 4 years in Washington, DC. Don’t get me wrong I miss the vibes of Chicago, but DC has grown on me. I started this blog about 3 years ago and it has evolved into more than I could have imagined! So buckle up and let’s dive into this crazy life of fashion chatting about how some outfits can give us intense pit stains, the trials and tribulations of chaffing, and how to navigate through the world of fitting into a size 12 in one store and an 18 in another! Don’t worry this will be fun!

Oh yassss, one last thing! Recently I have combined my side business, Take 2 Styling, with my blog! Take 2 Styling provides closet clean out and organizing services directly at your home. Once a week you will find posts on here chatting about organizing tips and tricks. I help you make the most out of your closet by refashioning your existing wardrobe, taking items to be consigned or donated for you, and organizing your closet in a way that works for your lifestyle.
